“LIBOR” means, for the Interest Period for any LIBOR Distribution and a Base Rate Loan determined in accordance with clause (c) of the definition thereof, the rate of interest obtained by dividing (i) the rate of interest per annum determined on the basis of the rate for deposits in Dollars for a period equal to the applicable Interest Period which appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or any applicable successor page) at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of the applicable Interest Period by (ii) a percentage equal to 1 minus the stated maximum rate (stated as a decimal) of all reserves, if any, required to be maintained with respect to Eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities”) as specified in Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or against any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Distributions is determined or any applicable category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans by an office of any Lender outside of the United States).

Each change in the Prime Rate shall be effective as of the opening of business on the day such change in such prime rate occurs. The parties hereto acknowledge that the rate announced publicly by the Administrative Agent as its prime rate is an index or base rate and shall not necessarily be its lowest or best rate charged to its customers or other banks.
2. Designation and Number; Etc. The Series J Preferred Units have been established and shall have such rights, preferences, limitations and qualifications as are described herein (in addition to the rights, preferences, limitations and qualifications contained in the Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership to the extent applicable). The authorized number of Series J Preferred Units shall be 500,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Schedule I and any other provision of the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, the provisions of this Schedule I shall control.
3. Rank. The Series J Preferred Units shall, with respect to the payment of distributions and the distribution of amounts upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, rank as follows:
(a) senior to all classes or series of Common Units and to all Units the terms of which provide that such Units shall rank junior to the Series J Preferred Units;
(b) on a parity with the Series B Preferred Units, Series D Preferred Units, Series E Preferred Units, Series F Preferred Units, Series G Preferred Units, Series H Preferred Units and Series I Preferred Units and each other series of Preferred Units issued by the Partnership which does not provide by its express terms that it ranks junior or senior in right of payment to the Series J Preferred Units with respect to payment of distributions or amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up; and
(c) junior to any class or series of Preferred Units issued by the Partnership that ranks senior to the Series J Preferred Units.
4. Voting. The Partnership shall not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding Series J Preferred Units voting separately as a class:
(a) authorize, create or increase the authorized or issued amount of any class or series of partnership interests of the Partnership ranking senior to the Series J Preferred Units with respect to the payment of distributions or rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership, or reclassify any authorized partnership interests into, or create, authorize or issue any obligation or interest convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the right to purchase, any such senior partnership interests; or
(b) amend, alter or repeal the provisions of these Series J Preferred Units, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, so as to materially and adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series J Preferred Units or the holders thereof.
For purposes of this Section 4, each Series J Preferred Unit shall have one (1) vote. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the foregoing voting provisions shall not apply if, prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding Series J Preferred Units shall have been redeemed. Except as provided herein, the holders of Series J Preferred Units shall not have any voting or consent rights or other rights to participate in the management of the Partnership or to receive notices of meetings.
5. Unit Type Conversions. The Series J Preferred Units are distinguished by “Type.” The “Type” of Unit refers to whether such Unit is a Base Rate Unit or a LIBOR Unit, each of which constitutes a Type of Series J Preferred Unit. The holders of Series J Preferred Units shall have the right to convert Units of one Type into Units of another Type at any time or from time to time. Unit holders shall designate the Type of Series J Preferred Unit being acquired at the time of issuance, and such Type shall continue unless such holder directs the Partnership to convert such Type into another Type. Absent instructions from a Unit holder to select the duration of any Distribution Period for any LIBOR Unit, such Unit shall continue as a LIBOR Unit with a Distribution Period of one (1) month on the last day of the then-current Distribution Period for such Unit or, if outstanding as a Base Rate Unit, shall remain as a Base Rate Unit.
6. Distributions.
(a) Regular Distributions. Subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Units ranking senior to or on parity with the Series J Preferred Units, the holders of Series J Preferred Units shall be entitled to receive on each Distribution Payment Date, out of assets of the Partnership legally available for the payment of the distributions, monthly cumulative cash distributions at the following rates per annum on the $1,000 liquidation preference per Series J Preferred Unit:
(i) during such periods as the Series J Preferred Units are Base Rate Units, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin;
(ii) during such periods as the Series J Preferred Units are LIBOR Units, the LIBOR Rate for such period plus the Applicable Margin; and
(iii) an amount equal to any fees payable under the Credit Agreement during such periods resulting from or arising out of borrowings or the ability to borrow under the Credit Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during any period when an Event of Default exists (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement), the holders of Series J Preferred Units shall be entitled to receive on each Distribution Payment Date, cash distributions at the applicable Default Rate on $1,000 liquidation preference per Unit and all distributions thereon not paid when due. In addition to any distributions due under this Section 6, the Partnership shall pay to holders of Series J Preferred Units a late payment premium in the amount of two percent (2%) of any payments of distributions made after the Distribution Payment Date.
(b) Distributions on the Series J Preferred Units shall only be paid when, as and if declared by the General Partner, however, distributions shall accumulate whether or not so declared.
(c) Distributions on the Series J Preferred Units shall accrue and be cumulative from, and including, the date of original issuance and shall be payable (when, as and if declared by the General Partner) monthly in arrears on each Distribution Payment Date. The initial distribution on the Series J Preferred Units, which shall be paid on August 3, 2015 if declared by the General Partner, shall be for less than a full month and shall be in the amount of $1.6148 per Series J Preferred Unit. Distributions payable on the Series J Preferred Units shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such Distribution is payable.
(d) The Partnership shall pay distributions to holders of record at the close of business on the applicable distribution record date. The record date for distributions upon the Series J Preferred Units shall be the business day immediately preceding the related Distribution Payment Date, or such other date that the General Partner shall designate that is not more than 30 days prior to the applicable Distribution Payment Date.
(e) No distribution on the Series J Preferred Units shall be declared by the General Partner or paid or set apart for payment by the Partnership at such time as and to the extent that the terms and provisions of any bona fide agreement of the Partnership, including any agreement relating to bona fide indebtedness, prohibits such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment or provides that such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment would constitute a breach thereof, or a default thereunder, or to the extent that such declaration of payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law (and such failure to pay distributions on the Series J Preferred Units shall prohibit other distributions by the Partnership as described in this Schedule I).
(f) Distributions on the Series J Preferred Units shall accrue and accumulate, however, whether the Partnership has earnings, whether there are funds legally available for the payment of distributions and whether such distributions are declared by the General Partner.
(g) Except as provided in Section 6(h) of this Schedule I, so long as any Series J Preferred Units are outstanding, (i) no cash or non-cash distributions (other than in Common Units or other Units ranking junior to the Series J Preferred Units as to payment of distributions and amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment upon the Common Units or any other class or series of partnership interests in the Partnership or Units ranking, as to payment of distributions or amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, on a parity with or junior to the Series J Preferred Units, for any period and (ii) no Common Units or other Units ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series J Preferred Units as to payment of distributions or amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership shall be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any monies be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such Units) by the Partnership (except by conversion into or exchange for other Units ranking junior to the Series J Preferred Units as to payment of distributions and amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership or by redemptions pursuant to any redemption rights agreements) unless, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), full cumulative distributions have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for such payment.
(h) When distributions are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not set apart for such payment) upon the Series J Preferred Units and any other partnership interests in the Partnership or Units ranking on a parity as to payment of distributions with the Series J Preferred Units, all distributions declared upon the Series J Preferred Units and any other partnership interests in the Partnership or Units ranking on a parity as to payment of distributions with the Series J Preferred Units shall be declared or paid pro rata so that the amount of distributions declared per Unit of Series J Preferred Units and such other partnership interests in the Partnership shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued and unpaid distributions per Unit on the Series J Preferred Units and such other partnership interests in the Partnership (which shall not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid distributions for prior distribution periods if such Units do not have cumulative distributions) bear to each other
(i) Any distribution payment made on Series J Preferred Units shall first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid distribution due with respect to such Units that remains payable.
(j) If, for any taxable year, the Partnership elects to designate as “capital gain dividends” (as defined in Section 857 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any successor revenue code or section) any portion of the total distributions (as determined for Federal income tax purposes) paid or made available for the year to holders of all partnership interests of the Partnership (the “Capital Gains Amount”), then the portion of the Capital Gains Amount that shall be allocable to holders of the Series I Preferred Unit shall be in the same portion that the total distributions paid or made available to the holders of the Series I Preferred Unit for the year bears to the total distributions for the year made with respect to all partnership interests in the Partnership. Distributions with respect to the Series J Preferred Units are intended to qualify as permitted distributions of cash that are not treated as a disguised sale within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.707-4 and the provisions of this Schedule I shall be construed and applied consistently with such Treasury Regulations.
7. Liquidation Preference.
(a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, before any payment or distribution of the assets of the Partnership (whether capital or surplus) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Common Units or any other partnership interests in the Partnership or Units ranking junior to the Series J Preferred Units as to the distribution of assets upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, the holders of the Series J Preferred Units shall, with respect to each such Unit, be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Partnership available for distribution to Partners after payment or provision for payment of all debts and other liabilities of the Partnership and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Units ranking senior to or on parity with the Series J Preferred Units with respect to payment of amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, an amount equal to $1,000.00 (or property having a fair market value as determined by the General Partner valued at $1,000.00 per Series J Preferred Unit), plus an amount equal to all distributions (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution (including all accumulated and unpaid distributions).
(b) If, upon any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, the assets of the Partnership, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of the Series J Preferred Units are insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid on the Series J Preferred Units and liquidating payments on any other Units or partnership interests in the Partnership of any class or series ranking, as to payment of distributions and amounts upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, on a parity with the Series J Preferred Units, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Series J Preferred Units and any such other Units or partnership interests in the Partnership ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such Series J Preferred Units and such other Units or partnership interests in the Partnership if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full.
(c) Written notice of such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, stating the payment date or dates when, and the place or places where, the amounts distributable in such circumstances shall be payable, shall be given by first class mail, postage pre-paid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record holder of the Series J Preferred Units at the respective addresses of such holders as the same shall appear on the transfer records of the Partnership.
(d) After payment of the full amount of liquidating distributions to which they are entitled as provided in Section 7(a) of this Schedule I, the holders of Series J Preferred Units shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Partnership.
(e) For the purposes of this Section 7, none of (i) a consolidation or merger of the Partnership with or into another entity, (ii) a merger of another entity with or into the Partnership or (iii) a sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets, properties or business shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership (unless all or substantially all of the proceeds thereof are distributed by the Partnership, in which case a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership shall be deemed to have occurred).
8. Optional Redemption. The holders of the Series J Preferred Units shall have the right to redeem the Series J Preferred Units, in whole or in part, for cash, at a redemption price of the $1,000 liquidation value of such Units, plus all accumulated and unpaid distributions.
9. Purpose. The Series J Preferred Units are issued by the Partnership in accordance with, and pursuant to, Section 8.3 of the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of GGP Operating Partnership, LP, as amended, in connection with borrowings by General Growth Properties, Inc., as borrower, pursuant to the (i) Credit Agreement and (ii) Intercompany Credit Agreement between General Growth Properties, Inc. and GGP Limited Partnership dated June 26, 2015 (the “Intercompany Credit Agreement”). Accordingly, the terms set forth on this Schedule I are intended to be equivalent to the terms of borrowings by General Growth Properties, Inc., as borrower, pursuant to the Credit Agreement and Intercompany Credit Agreement. To the extent that the terms herein do not provide such equivalency, whether through omission or otherwise, the Partnership shall be authorized, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, to make such adjustments to the provisions of this Schedule I and the Series J Preferred Units.
